Determine the area of the two bases of the triangular prism 6 square centimeters

Answer 1

The area of a triangle can be calculated using the formula:

Area = 1/2 * base * height

Given that the area of the two bases of the triangular prism is 6 square centimeters, and the base is a triangle, we can set up the equation as follows:

6 = 1/2 * base * height
base = 12/height

Since the base of the prism is a triangle, there are two identical bases. Therefore, the area of each base is half of the total area of the two bases:

Area of each base = 6 / 2 = 3 square centimeters

Therefore, the area of each base of the triangular prism is 3 square centimeters.
